if someone asked this before, sorry for the redundancy.
anyway...

is it safe to have sex when you're on the dummy pills of the BCP? i'm talking those two unbloody days before your body realizes that the hormones aren't there anymore. the pamplet never addressed this, but i've been told countless times that having sex during your period or right before your period is a dumb idea. this would technically be that time, right?

i guess to clarify, do you stop ovulating on the pill? i'm pretty sure you do, as it fools your body into thinking you're pregnant (right?). That said, can you ovulate in only two days enough to make it dangerous? maybe not but i am unsure.

i haven't tried this, it's purely theorhetical.

thanks in advance :-)

When you're on the pill, if you've taken it correctly, it will protect you the whole month, not just the weeks you're taking active pills.

Combo pills theoretically do three things...suppress ovulation, thicken cervical mucous so its harder for conception to happen and thin the uterine lining.

That combination of things make it very unlikely that you'll get pregnant if you've taken your pills correctly.
